Hello Justin i,m sorry i can,t recall any companies that were there at that time i was in my 20s then and i have worked at hundreds of locations since then, now is the time i wished i had kept a diary i could have wrote a book on different building sites around the town. Dek
Hi Dek
It must have been at the same time that my dad's company was refitting out the pub, I spoke to him earlier and he said it was late 60's early 70's that this was done out as a ship with masts and everything. I always remembering him telling me me that before they started it was just a concrete shell (not really appealing), but never judge a book by its cover my dad used to say. cheers for the reply

My band played this venue in 95, we were one of the last bands to play there. Its rumoured Ocean Colour Scene got there name from a picture on the top floor.
The portrait featured a saling ship / galleon in rough waters.
I really think this building should have had a preservation order on it due to it being built on concrete/blocks stilts !...wierd but safe???

That fantastic photo must be mid-late 70's in my estimation?
